Tower Grove Park’s Saturday Morning Farmers Market
Last Summer, I took the kids to Tower Grove park for the first time to play in their wade pool and fountains, but a storm popped up. We didn’t even get to enjoy the Farmer’s Market entirely, because they packed up as quick as the storm clouds rolled in. So, this year… I wanted a… >> View Post
Back to School Buys
My friend Janna from Colorado gave me a $75 and a $125 Gymbuck to use during their sale a couple of weeks ago.

Sunset Picnic on a Paddle boat at the Boathouse
After having Autumn in the hospital for two days last week, Brian and I were wondering if we would still be going on our paddle boat ride. Luckily, she was released Thursday morning, and we were able to still go. And, for anyone that is wondering, she is doing a lot better this week… >> View Post
Watering the Flowers
Hanging out in the backyard is a lot of fun this summer… Nathan loves to practice hitting balls and Autumn loves to water my flowers for me with the hose sprayer. You can tell by her big smile here how much fun it is to water everything (flowers, bro-bro, Momma, BriBri, Nathan’s skateboard ramp, the… >> View Post
Autumn baked her first cake.
Autumn is really into PlayDoh… she has a lot of tools and loves to work with a lot of colors. She is going to really love Preschool 3, because they even listed PLAYDOH as a supply she needed on her supply list! While at Target yesterday, I noticed the cake making set was on… >> View Post
